Yes. A microwave

Dr Quan Vuong, from the University of Newcastle in Australia, has spent years researching how microwaves can tease out extra nutrition from food and drink.

Australian ABC Radio uncovered some of his 2012 research on microwaving tea, after presenters watched David Tennant controversially zap his brew on ITV’s Broadchurch.

Dr Vuong's study found microwaving both green and black tea brings out more of the caffeine and antioxidants. Nuking your brew activates 80% of the caffeine, theanine and polyphenol compounds found in tea, ABC reports.
